Oops, I just realized I never changed the "new Bible study date" when I updated this last week. I hope nobody came, looked at the old date, and left again thinking I missed a week! Oh, my, when I get too busy I forget important details!
I was very busy last week. I finally got the "have to's" done, but didn't have any time left for the "should do's" and absolutely never got around to the "want to's!"
I am trying to take things one day at a time and trying to stay cool and calm about everything. If something doesn't work out the way it should I try to say, "Oh well!" rather than running around trying to come up with another solution. My blood pressure has been high lately and my "fix things" attitude may be a contributing factor. Hey, there aren't too many things that are all that important! It is important to set priorities. I have to set priorities and then rearrange them on an ongoing basis as things change and as new things get added!
God knows the things that are most important. He knows the things that need to be done. If we don't keep asking Him then we will be busy busy busy doing things that, in the long run, make absolutely no difference at all!!! |
Oh, dear, my arms are getting sore. I got a flu shot today in one arm and a Hepatitis A booster in the other. I feel like I was in a fight! |
I probably won't be updating this next week. I'm not sure what will be going on next week. I'm taking a week off from doing the scrip then and so might be gone or involved in some big project that I can't do because of the scrip schedule I normally have. (Only 23 more weeks and I'll be passing it on to my replacement!! Hooray!!) |
I'm tired, too. The wind was howling last night! It probably was blowing as hard as it was a few years ago when most of our trees blew over. The only difference back then was it had rained for three days before the wind blew and the tree roots let go. Our patio chairs took off. The shed door was banging. I had to take my wind chimes down. I could hear it whistling through the sliding door. I asked God to help me sleep and He did. After that, I only woke up when I would hear something crash. |
Have a blessed Christmas! Remember why we celebrate Christmas! Don't get caught up in the commercialized version. When you see a Christmas candle, think about Jesus who is the Light of the world. When you see the red and green decorations think about the red of the blood that Jesus spilled for you and the green that represents your growth in your relationship with God. When you see a Christmas angel, imagine what the shepherds saw that first Christmas morning. When you see Christmas presents think about the greatest present there ever was....the present that Jesus gave us when he died so that we might live! |
